The family of 21-year-old Chelsey Northrup of Saline said she was on her way home Sunday night when she was killed in a crash on South Parker Road in Freedom Township, Fox 2 News reported.

Northrup had been visiting her boyfriend, Bobby Chipelewski, 26, Sunday night before heading to her family's home in Saline, according to the report.

Because Northrup had been having car trouble, Chipelewski allowed her to drive his car while he followed her home in her car, according to the report.

Chipelewski drove up on the crash scene minutes after it happened and dialed 911, according to the report. He raced to the car to check on his girlfriend—but found she had no pulse, according to the report.

"You're thinking, she's only hurt. She'll be OK. When I got there, there's too many flashing lights to be just that," Kai Northrup, Chelsey's father, said in an interview with Fox 2 News.

Chelsey Northrup was driving southbound on Parker Road just south of the Scio Church intersection when a northbound pickup truck driven by Garrett Roe, 36, of Dexter, veered across the centerline and hit Chelsey Northrup, according to Michigan State Police officials.

Alcohol and cell phone use are suspected factors in the crash, police said. Roe was transported from the scene with non-life threatening injuries to Chelsea Community Hospital.
